    Need advice or idea about customizing

    I am trying to attach a super hero pez dispenser head onto the body of an 8 inch mego figure. I found an awesome collection of Pez dispensers that include the Riddler, Thor, Two Face, Iron Man, Joker, Batman and Captain America. These Pez dispenser look very mego like and have amazing details. The Riddler for example has an incredible hat with the question mark and purple band. Anyone out there have any ideas?

    Do a search in the Customs forum, because I'm pretty sure I've seen customs done this way. Customego has plenty of tutorials, so you might want to check there as well.

      Get a trashed head or repro head...trim it down so there is a little more then just the neck plug left...use some 2 part epoxy to attach the plug to the pez head and there you go...(may require a little sanding/fine tuning)

      Or find someone who casts heads and have them do it...not sure what the going rate on that one is anymore...but I can point you in the right direction if needed...

      In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

        You can use a wooden dowel and wrap it in craft foam and stick it into the pez head, just cut the foam so that it's thicker on top and thin down where the dowel goes into the body.

          I grind them down so they'll fit inside the head, glue them, fill the seams and paint. The dowel idea is a good one too.

            I have screwed in a bolt/screw and wrapped with duck tape.

              Epoxy a wooden dowel into the head and then use a small eye hook. Use elestic to through the eye hook / through the torso and tie it to the pin in the pelvis.
